I just submitted my application to the Nurse Corps Scholarship, I just found out about this a few months ago anyone have any advice or tips? I am most worried by my SAI number. It is within the range but its on the upper end more than lower.
Apply to the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program
You are eligible if you:
Are a U.S. citizen (born or naturalized), a national, or a lawful permanent resident
Are an accepted or enrolled student in a nursing degree program at a United States accredited school of nursing
Begin classes no later than September 30
Don't have any federal judgment liens
Don't have an existing service commitment
Aren't overdue on a federal debt
Note: Preference to those who need the most help financially.
Why should you apply?
If you receive an award, you'll get a monthly stipend—and they'll pay your
tuition;
eligible fees;
reasonable costs (includes books, clinical supplies/instruments, and uniforms).
I got the email where my application was under review but I tried checking Experian and no hard inquiry yet. Staying optimistic and hoping for other people too! If have student loan debts and they are not delinquent, does that mean they will still run a credit check on you or?

Did you apply for the Nurse Corps Scholarship or the NHSC Scholarship? The NHSC Scholarship group got emails stating their application was under review yesterday (despite being under review for months already). No one there is getting credit checks yet though.
I wondering if those who are seeing there credit check had it yesterday. Mine only showed under the disputes section in the app yesterday (which takes several steps to get to) but today it shows on the main "reported inquires" page.
I wonder if they're actively still making checks or if they did a batch yesterday
I just looked at my report and it looks like they pulled it on Monday. I was wondering the same thing.

I still haven't received anything.... I know there is time but I genuinely & truly thought I stood a great chance especially with my background in working for an underserved community, my LOR's & my essay but doesn't appear that way 😔

I would not be surprised if they do it in batches and that there will be another round coming soon with credit checks. There is a lot that can happen in the next 6 weeks. It is nerve racking but I do think this is a start of their process and more batches will come.

Thank you for the uplifting words. I sure do need it right now 🫶🏼
Pulling credit reports for every candidate doesn't seem efficient to me. It seems unnecessary to pull a credit report on someone who may be deemed ineligible based on their essay or letter of recommendation. It would make more sense to pull credit only for candidates who appear promising for the award and narrow down from that pool. However, it is clearly stated on their website that they pull credit on all applicants, so I'm uncertain about how to reconcile this approach.

Even though it says that what you're saying makes sense. I think that when we received that under review email that was then looking at our application and then they pushed the credit check for those in the running. Since there are always expected rejections to their offer... maybe they check another group of peoples credit later on "just in case, like a back-up pool.
who knows

Did you check under your disputes section in Experian? Its shows a list of inquiries there too, which seems to be more accurate
